About the restaurant

About Luca Osteria -- Coral Gables, Miami

Luca Osteria opened in Coral Gables as Chef Giorgio Rapicavoli's expression of the Italian osteria format -- a neighborhood restaurant centered on handmade pasta, seasonal ingredients, and a convivial bar atmosphere. Rapicavoli, a Miami native of Italian descent who won the Food Network competition Chopped, built the menu around the cooking traditions he grew up with, executed at a professional kitchen level.

The restaurant was named Best Italian Restaurant 2024 in Miami -- a recognition that reflects both the kitchen's consistency and its position in a competitive market. Unlike the high-end Italian dining rooms of South Beach, Luca Osteria operates as a genuinely neighborly osteria, priced to return to rather than save up for.

All pasta is made in-house. The menu changes seasonally, but the core signatures -- the Wild Boar Ragu, the Branzino, the Grilled Octopus -- are year-round constants. The wine list skews Italian, with a strong selection by the glass.
